Dancing With the Devil
"Okay, who did this to you?" The nurse asks Daah. Daah points to Ash. "What?" he screams. "He saved me," Daah said. "Oh," Allison said. "This guy did it," Allison said as she showed the nurse a picture of Ancey. Officer Rum takes it. "Who are you?" Ash asks. "Daah's father," Allison said. "Leader of the Knights, Your Royal Highness," Officer David Rum said sternly. "What did you do?" Allison and Ash were shocked by the question. Sangharsh observed as he smiled. "Deal with them," he said. The phoenix watches Daah as it drops feathers all around her.
"Should I asks again, Your Highness and Leader of the Knights?" Officer Rum asks sternly. "We didn't do anything," Ash states. "Sir Ashton, I know that you and my daughter had a falling out, but-" Officer Rum speaks. "She was drinking, and a boy tried to take advantage of her," Allison said. "I see, Your Highness. Was it one of your friends? I know that my daughter does not like you either." "First of all, Daah's issue was that she was Sangharsh, but he couldn't care less because he was in love with me. That is another topic for another time." Sangharsh nods. "I was a jerk to Daah. I should have been honest with her." "Also, it was the boy she was with, Ancey," Allison said. "Also, can you stop being so formal with us? We're here to ensure our friend is okay," Ash said. "Okay," Officer Rum said. "What was his name?" "Ancey." Meanwhile, Allison calls Sajin, who is trying to hide his bashfulness from Dexter. "You know all the rooms in the house, right?" Dexter asks. "Yeah," Sajin answers nervously. "Then, why don't we explore one of those rooms?" Sajin did not know what to say, but Allison called him, and he exhaled. "Alicinda, how is it going?" Sajin says. "Cock blocker," Dexter mumbles. "Sajin, Ashton, and I took Daah to the ER," Allison said. "What the fuck?" Sajin claims. "What is going on?" Dexter asks.c The partygoers all stop mingling and stare at Sajin. "Yeah, it was Ancey. He tied her up and tried to take off her panties, but Ash and I stumbled upon them and chased him away," Allison said. "Was she drugged?" Sajin asks. "Who?" Dexter asks. "The doctor is running tests, but she will need her best friend right now." "Okay, I'll be there," Sajin said. "What is going on? Who was drugged?" Dexter asks. "Daah. Ancey tried to assault her." "What? Is that why he was running?" Brock asks. "I saw him too," Ulrich said. "I'll stay and clean up," Rosé said. "Me too," Ash J said. "Okay, the rest of us, let's go to the ER," Jared said.
Daah lays on her hospital bed and cries. "What the hell happened to me? I feel messed up." Daah rubs her wrists and sighs. Ancey pushes Daah onto the bed and finds ribbons in a drawer. Daah tries to kick in in the groin, but Ancey grabs her neck and ties her hands to the bedpost. He stands over her and presses his right hand on her chest as he unbuttons his pants. "If Ashton and Alicinda arrived a minute later," Daah said. She pulls her hair. "Why do I feel so, ugh!" Daah notices a black feather on her bed and picks it up. Her body felt a jolt all over. "What was that?" Daah gets up and heads for the bathroom.
At the ER lobby, the senior Knights and most of the students at Daah's party arrive and wait for word. "Officer Rum," Sajin says. "Sajin? How did you get here?" Officer Rum asks. "Alicinda called me." "Good. She and Ashton are giving one of my officers a picture of Ancey." "Can I see here?" "Not yet. Her doctor thinks she needs some alone time. Plus, she went to the bathroom." Sajin sighs and sits down. "I didn't know Ancey was a creep," Aelita said. "Wait until I see him," Cressila said. "Easy," Jeremy said. "Going after him won't help Daah. "Well, the justice system won't help," Jared said. "Let's make sure Daah is okay," Dawn said. Brock notices that Yumi is on the phone and checks on her. "Is everything okay?" "Yeah. I want to call Hiroki so he can tell Mariam about her sister, but I am okay," Yumi said, but her face looked worried. "Are you sure?" "No. It brought me back to the summer at the ski resort." "Why? Oh, William." "Yeah. I forgave him but hearing Allison telling the story about how she and Ash saw something and rushed in. It was like with William and me. Allison came in swinging with the champagne bottle and," Yumi sighed as she spoke. Brock hugs her. "I know. I know. Some are not so lucky, but you and Daah were so happy about that," Brock said. Yumi nods. Odd and Dexter get a call from Headmaster Chidh. "Hello, sir," Odd and Dexter speak. "I heard that there was an incident at the senior party. Is that true?" "Yes, sir, "Odd said. Officer Rum takes the phone from Odd. "Excuse me, will the school handle the situation with my daughter properly, or will I have to?" "Officer David Rum? We will ensure that the student is dealt with," Headmaster Chidh said. Meanwhile, as the other students clean up Daah's house, Ancey arrives. "Get out, motherfucker," Hiroshima yells. "What? Am I late?" "You assaulted Daah. I am calling the police," Alexis said. "What? I was helping my sister. She brought me here." Gary looks outside the window and sees Ancey's sister, Mary. "I know, Mary. We go to the same school," Gary said. Rosé looks at Ancey. "Ashton said he punched you in the face." "Look, I don't know what happened to Daah, but it was not me!" Ash J sees Ancey has a scar on his right hand, but before, it was on his left. "I hope we get answers soon, but I sense a deeper problem," Dawn says.
Daah sits on the bathroom floor and cries. "I feel so broken!" The black feather glows and makes a tattoo on Daah's right hand. "I want to scratch my skin, but I can't!" Daah lies on the floor and turns on the shower. "A rape kit was done already, so I can shower," she said. Daah stands in the show, and her body emits a black aura.
Ash J calls Allison as the doctor comes to speak with Officer Rum. "Can we wait a minute? We are trying to call my younger daughter and my wife," Officer David said. "Ancey is here, but I think there is a bigger problem," Ash J said. "Why?" Allison asks. "I think someone that looked like Ancey assaulted Daah." Allison is in shock. "What?" "Yeah. It was like he was a mirror image of Ancey before." Mariam arrives with her sleepover crew and her mother, Maxine. "What is going on?" "Good," Dr. Mark said. "It looks like that Daah was drugged, but the DNA on her body is not a fairy's." "What do you mean?" Officer Rum said. "She was assaulted given that she was tied up, and her friends gave accounts of what happened." "But? Did a non-fairy attack her? Like a demon?" "A Jumbie?" Mariam asks. "I understand that her school might have one around. My nephew goes there. So, it makes sense." Maxine reels, and Officer Rum holds his head. "Excuse me," Allison said. "My brother said that Ancey arrived at your house, but he looks different, and he had scars on his hand, but it is the opposite hand." "A mirror jumbie," Dr. Mark said. "A specialty of Kaante."
Daah gets out of the shower and holds her head. She looks in the mirror, and her eyes glow. "I have my host," Kaante said. "Thank you for placing the cotton ball into your school's fountain. You will help me with my plot!" Daah holds her stomach. "I feel weird. Maybe the drug is coming out." Daah looks at the mirror, and she sees herself, but Kaante is behind her, laughing.
"Kaante send something to attack Daah; why?" Sajin asks. Mariam thinks back to when the phoenix attacked them at the shrine. "It was a warning about Daah," she said. Daah sits in her bed and lets out a creepy smile. "I am coming!" She said as she crackled.
